KUO I-Chen , born in Kaohsiung, Taiwan in 1979. Graduated from Graduate Institute of Art and Technology, National Taipei University of the Arts, in 2007, majoring in Video and Audio Art. Currently lives in Taipei.



In 2004, I participated in “Taipei Biennial: Do You Believe in Reality” with work “Invade TFAM”. In 2005, I represented Taiwan at “The Spectre of Freedom” Taiwan Pavilion in the 2005 Venice Biennale, becoming the youngest artist ever to participate in the Biennale. Also in 2005, I participated in “PILOT:2 International Art Forum” in London, UK, thanks to the recommendation of international curator Fumio Nanjo. In 2006, I participated in the First Singapore Biennale—Belief. In 2007, I participated in “Thermocline of Art—New Asian Waves” at ZKM Center for Art and Media, Karlsruhe, Germany. In the same year, my first solo exhibition “Mutation” was one of five finalists at the Sixth Taishin Arts Awards. In 2008, I received invitation to partake in “The Fifth Seoul International Media Art Biennale” and collaborated with Australian curator Sophie McIntyre in “Penumbra: Contemporary Art From Taiwan” at Anne & Gordon Samstag Museum in Adelaide, Australia. In 2009, I received invitation to participate in “The Epic in the Everyday: Contemporary Video Art from Taiwan” at PAN Palazzo delle Arti Napoli, Napoli, Italy. Works continue to be invited to exhibitions in Greece, Germany, Switzerland, New York, India, Japan, and France.
